“fresh and committed cast, accomplished musicianship…”
Conductor Anthony Barrese’s orchestra’s ” sound is satisfyingly full-bodied, and they handle the romantic pieces, the dramatic finales, and the wonderfully infectious jazzy numbers (the unique feature of Abrahám’s works) very well indeed. Better than most German conductors, as a matter of fact…” – Harry Forbes, Operetta Research Center
We are proud to share our English language world premiere recording of Paul Abrahám’s racy jazz operetta Ball at the Savoy. This is our second recording for the Naxos Operetta Classics series. Congratulations to Maestro Barrese, our wonderful cast and orchestra. Special thanks to Kristin Barrett, who directed the original show, and to Jerry Critser, who sponsored this recording.
